The classical music events of the Autumn Musical - Sounds & Places of Art - XXV edition will close on Saturday 21 December at the Museo Campano in Capua with a concert by pianist Bruno Canino for the PIANOFESTIVAL section with the performance of pieces by Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Pyotr, Tchaikovsky, Albéniz and Ravel and on Thursday 26 December with the great CONCERT FOR A DAY OF CELEBRATION in the splendid setting of the Palatine Chapel of the Royal Palace of Caserta where the Caserta Chamber Orchestra will be accompanied by Bruno Canino's piano on music by Mayr, Haydn and Mozart.
The Caserta Chamber Orchestra, founded and directed by Maestro Antonino Cascio, has collaborated on several occasions with well-known soloists and participated in important festivals and concert seasons in Italy and abroad, proposing programs linked to its research activity.
Bruno Canino was the director of the Music Section of the Venice Biennale from 1999 to 2002. He plays in a piano duo with Antonio Ballista, and collaborates with illustrious instrumentalists such as Accardo, Ughi, Amoyal, Perlman, Blacher. He has devoted himself in particular to contemporary music. He has played under the direction of Abbado, Muti, Chailly, Sawallisch, Berio, Boulez, with orchestras such as the Filarmonica della Scala, Santa Cecilia, Berliner Philharmoniker, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Orchestre National de France. He regularly holds masterclasses for solo piano and chamber music in Italy, Germany, Japan, Spain, and participates in the Marlboro Festival in the United States. He is often invited to be a member of the juries of important international piano competitions.
The Museo Campano of Capua is housed in the historic Palazzo Antignano, whose foundation dates back to the 9th century and incorporates the remains of San Lorenzo ad Crucem, a small church from the Lombard period on the site of one of the three noble seats of the city. An important testimony of a particular pre-Roman indigenous cult, dedicated to fertility, to the protection of the mother and her offspring, is the collection of the Matres Matutae, popularly known as the Mothers of Capua, preserved in rooms V and IX of the museum. The building boasts the splendid Durazzesco-Catalan portal which bears the Antignano and d'Alagno coats of arms embedded in it.
The Palatine Chapel of the Royal Palace of Caserta, where the orchestra will play, was inaugurated on Christmas 1784 and bombed in 1943. It was designed taking inspiration from the one in Versailles at the behest of the King, but Vanvitelli with his genius managed to synthesize in it all the Renaissance, Mannerist and Baroque traditions, giving rise to neoclassicism.
The Autumn Music Festival has seen international artists alternating in historical and artistic places, from the Royal Palace of Caserta to the Campano Museum of Capua, to the Archaeological Museum of Addaloni, as well as in the monumental churches of Sessa Aurunca, Carinola, Maddaloni and Piedimonte Matese with musical proposals that have varied from Pianofestival, to Chamber Music, to A-Solo, to Orchestra Concerts, to Contemporary Estonia. In parallel, there was also a rich carnet of "Other Events": Educational, Piano Lab, Sounds & Flavors, Electronics Lab, Baroque Itineraries / Classical Europe, L'atro Suono / Bosphorus Project.
